@ Jesses…you can see ALL the lessons and watch them as many times as you like for only 20 dollars!! Just cancel before you subscription is up and you will not be charged again….but most people end up realizing they don't want to stop.
You wont find a better deal then SV for hours and hours of lessons. You don't have to worry about what to do first…I tell you. You'll get conditioning exercises to help you avoid injury and routines along with stretching lessons and the new foam roller lessons are about to be posted. And you can ask me questions on any of the lessons and I'll reply back. Here are some free sample lessons incase you guys have missed them.

My advice…. you can never go wrong by starting with building strength first. Also proper progression when learning moves is important for growth, if you learn the basics wrong then everything else will be much harder. This is why I set up my lessons in an order of progression that builds strength first then teaches you moves that build on one another. Be safe. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

HI welcome to the site! I'm a mommy of 4 and had spent a few yrs living away from family stuck with out sitters so I feel for you!!! I have a ton of lessons here including the Extended Butterfly. Its perfect for a mom who can't get out of the house! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I was in no way saying a showcase should be free!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I don't think anyone else on this thread meant that either. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
People rarely appreciate what it takes to put on any kind of event and unfortunately this it just how it is. Charley has done an amazing job and this is why we support her even if I can't make it to a showcase. We need to stop focusing on what others are saying about an event whether its a comp or a show. People bad mouth and get bitchy. You will never get everyone to understand how much work you put into something….I know this. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Let's not waste energy on things we can't change, (like other ppl)…. But rather use our energy to continue to bring pole to new people. As I told Charley in chat, many of the people in this world that make the biggest difference are also the ones who are acknowledged the least……..

This has been something I have been thinking about a lot lately Charley! I would love with all my heart to perform and to have a place where pole dancers could showcase their talents without having to go to the strip clubs for armature nights. I think the showcase concepts are so fun but like with other sports and fine art, people pay more for professional level shows. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
I finally saw my first completion and honestly, I though I would have wished it had been me up there. BUT I didn't! I realize now, that is not the kind of lifestyle I want right now. I don't have time to train as much as I would like to compete at that level. I have no desire to travel the world doing workshops leaving my kids behind. I missed them so much while I was away in NY! I can travel when they are older. I wish there were more opportunities in the Midwest area….
Anyway….I think completions are great and necessary for pole to continue to grow! I hope to see more comps too! All I know…. for me, if I could have a place where I could perform I would be in heaven! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

You could also take advantage of the resource you have right here.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I have everything you need work up to inverting including a Pole Strength routine you can follow that uses only your pole and body weight to strengthen the muscles. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
-
I also teach you to lead with the hips….. using an entry from the chair position will not give you as much stretch around the pole and you'll end up with your back touching the pole and slowing you down. But the chair can be a good starting point. I demonstrate both entries here. For those taking the lessons. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/15f92884-b909-11df-856f-001b214581be

Have you checked to make sure your keeping the chest lifted before you begin the move? Not only does this help you engaged the scapula, it will keep the pole off the back and on the upper trap. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

LOL I have to admit, I have bashed to poor kitty. I was messing around with elbowstands and was not thinking…..was not cool, not cool at all. "Sorry honey no sex tonight cuz I smashed my vajayjay on the pole!" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

This was very fun! I like the "nice" feet best…but Chris likes the "naughty" feet video best. LOL

I have about 10 pairs of shoes I want to wear for this LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifNow I just need to figure out how I'm gonna make it all work!!

It seems the larger comps are using the 45mm lately (sometimes they have used 50's) So I wouldn't say its stadard yet. More of the local and smaller comps still use 50mm. I'm all for 45mm becoming standard, this is why we have 45mm set as the defalt size on our x pole order form. Its always best to work on as many sized and finishes as you can.
-
OMG she had you inverting on your 3rd class?!?! Working on new moves with heels on is a good way to injure yourself, always work on new moves in flats or bare feet. Good for you not giving in to wearing the heels and for requesting a mat!!! Swinging the legs to invert is a big no no https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
As for which pole…if your looking to have fun and use pole for fitness ect then I suggest the chrome 45mm. But if you plan on working towards competing some day the standard right now is 50mm. I'm hoping we'll see a change to a standard of 45mm for comps though.

I have danced on both….love brass its the best for grip. TG is not as grippy but still very nice to work with.

Hi there, congrats on the invert!! I teach as many pole moves as I can from the ground first. Including inverts. I feel its important to understand the end position completely before attempting to do a full invert. You should have an understanding of the POC" Points Of Contact, before you learn to invert. The knees should be up above the hands so you can grip the pole in between the insides of the knees. Also be sure your not using momentum as you invert, kicking and jumping can lead to injury. Always use a mat, I like to use couch cushins lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

@ Runemist..try to keep it just feet and legs, but its not iike you can be disqualified https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif. You could do floorwork but will have to adjust the cam so you can only show the feet and legs. Challenge yourself to show emotion through the legs https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cop.gif

This is what I would like to do for the Challenge https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4dc05c8a-dba0-4577-ad4e-70970ac37250 I think it would be challenging to see if we could show emotion and be expressive just by recording our feet. This could be done with or without heels, whatever you like. What do you guys think?

I can't remember I have had them for yrs. Pretty sure it was at a local shop here. I know you can find them online though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
